I used a hot knife at the time but now I would prefer using a scroll saw for a more cleaner cut.

I love how your torque bow is coming along...one of my favorite weapons of choice in the Gears Of War games. I was originally thinking of using a Nerf Bow pistol but seeing how you're doing yours makes me reconsider modifying a Nerf version. Looking forward to seeing it completed and keep up the...

Awesome work on the Gnasher Lee!

Did you get my PM?

There is nothing wrong with a girl making armor, there are quite a few females here who completed either a spartan or ODST armor. A couple types of armor you can certainly make for a female is Kat's from Noble Team and Dare from Halo 3 ODST. So, pick your favorite and just have fun making it.

I agree with using foam as a more cost effective alternative, especially for a beginner like you. My very first 405th project was a Reach UNSC trooper made from foam and pepped the helmet coz it was in my opinion, more simpler to build compared to the full spartan suits. Pepping the only the...

There was a man in New Zealand who heated his plastic with charcoal outside his backyard then use a shop vac to form it. Seemed like a good idea, cheap heat source and it won't run up your electricity bill. I would probably save an old square barbecue grill for the charcoal and make a matching...

Here is what I made for small vac-forming projects by Ralis Kahn. I used a 6.5 hp shop vac on 1/16th thick high impact polystyrene (HIPS) and ABS sheets and it works great for what I needed it for. Please be very careful with the wiring! Do not attempt to build if you're not familiar with...

Nice tut Calladar and thanks for posting this!

Hey Kissker, I'm glad things are working out for you now. I am trying to get a Ben Carmine version done myself out of EVA foam because it takes less time to build and is much easier than pepping it. I too am frustrated because I am not happy with how it's turning out for now but maybe if I get...

Nice job guys!

Looks awesome man! Makes me want to redo my armor...and thanks for the shout out dude!

The mats should be around the athletic section where you see dumbbells and weights. They are 48"x48" and are charcoal gray.

Get some foam mats at Walmart and just cut/shape/sand them to the size you need to fill in the gaps and paint to match the chest and back. Good luck!

No problem!
